where do farmers think farming will be, in 5 years time

[Canada Farmer]

Australia will never starve, that is the difference
Neither will New Zealand.
The British empire was primarily an agricultural empire to feed the multitude.

 

[som farmer]

You shoul be so lucky to get New Zealand butter compared to the Canadian mass produced shite!!!!
Again its the retailers fault it undercuts local product.
Has the current Australian government ever considered Canadian style supply management as Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government introduced?

anchor butter, is made in the uk, by arla.

Strange thread 5 years will pass in a blink of an eye nothing much will have changed.

 

[Adeptandy]

We’ll all be 5 years older

 

[neilo]

We’ll all be 5 years older

And some of us will be doing things differently, some will be doing things bigger, some will have scaled back and some will no longer be with us. The only thing that’s constant in life is change.

And the only certainty in life is tax and death .

Don't pay tax if you don't make a profit

 

[Hilly]

Don't pay tax if you don't make a profit

Id be awfully sad if i worked a year and didnt make a profit of some description …

quite but it is part of it

a VERY small one

 

[Clive]

just because there is actually food there does not mean that the price hasnt increased, we know for fact that it has, my bank account says so.....

mabye the people there such as yourself can afford it but mabye theres other people in society that are in a 1 bed flat living on baked beans while your wild birds get fat

you must be the only farmer on the planet that doesn’t like food prices increasing

 

[Clive]

a very simplistic view.....a simplistic mind perhaps?

could you explain why on these "world markets" we have record sheep and beef prices in the uk yet theres large numbers of australian sheep farmers digging holes in the ground to bury thousands of sheep because the price is so low nobody will buy them, 0 demand.....

very simple to understand the reasons for this, unless you have a simple mind of course

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Once they get the haulage sorted they will ruin sheep trade here you watch .

They'll truck them East domesticity first

 

[Just because]

Not a lot of changes but everyone will be 5 years older

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Not a lot of changes but everyone will be 5 years older

Machinery will be 30% dearer again...

so small that if not a single acres of wheat was harvested in the uk in a year of normal global production the effect on the price of a loaf of wheat would be near unnoticeable

important as we love to think we are …….. we are not really

That's not true our infrastructure would fail.

 

[Bossfarmer]

its not quite so simple and i think australian lamb is proving that at the minute that huge supply of lamb cant get here they have export bans in place, meanwhile we are enjoying records prices

True, but do you believe the price of a loaf of bread would not rocket to an unbelievable level. The Mega company's would profiteir.

The Government will say we will just have to survive on Cake.
